Okay, time to strain all you semi-intelligent reference geniuses. In 1981 (?) I saw a trailer for a movie that was apparently a cross between soft porn and a karate film. It featured a young girl in the lead role, and the preview had a lot of scenes with fighting, clothes getting ripped off, mild bondage, etc., in short, just my sort of movie. I believe the title was "Firecracker", but I'm not certain. So, was it ever released? Is it available on video-tape? -- Scott Turner

Actually, it wasn't a "typical high school sketch". What it was a sketch that took place in a free clinic. The whole story is that Bill Murray went back to a reunion of sorts of old "Second City" people, so I don't think it was from a movie. The whole gist of the sketch was that Bill Murray went in to the clinic, and when the nurse asked him what was wrong, he bent over and whispered something in her ear. She couldn't hear him, and asked him to repeat it. They went back and forth like this a couple of times, until Murray finally just clapped when she asked him what was wrong. She immediately blurted out "Oh, you have a social disease", and everyone else at the clinic gave him a dirty look. I do believe this was on one of Siskel's and Ebert's special "At The Movies" devoted to why Bill Murray was so popular(Boy, you must have just seen a rerun of that show. It originally aired last fall).
